Swedish Space Glider - FPV to Space and Back!

David Windestål flew a 433 MHz remote controlled plane with a 1 watt
1.2 GHz TV transmitter at an altitude of 30 km over Sweden.

 The video transmitter was a 1 watt Lawmate which typically operates
at 1258 or 1280 MHz. Remote control of the glider was achieved by
using a 100 mW 433 MHz transmitter attached to a 7 watt booster turned
down to run about 2 watts output into a 4 element Yagi.

FPV - First Person View. A system of R/C model flying where a camera
is fitted to the model along with a device that transmits real time
video back to the ground station. The pilot wears a pair of video
goggles and flies the model using the on board view received from the
camera.
